Default Something Different and Fixed by MSD

Been after a 7 seater since having the twins 6 months ago.
Really don't like French cars and fancied something different to a ford.

Landrover disco 2 was on the cards. A 4x4 really tickled my fancy. V8 on lpg but then came across this.

A Jeep Commander

7 full seats, each row sits higher than the front, cream leather, memory seats and mirrors, full dealer history and I really like the Matt black wrap. High mileage but drove very smoothly, V6 3.0 was quiet with no rattles or knocks, underneath looked solid and gear box nice and smooth.

Seen MSD had an offer on remaps so got that booked in a couple of days later.
The change is outstanding!

So james, thank you very much pal. Even messing about down back lanes and town driving after the 40 or so miles on the motorway I've got 9mpg more.

Probably circa 255bhp and 455ibs.

For a 2.4 ton truck she shifts like hell.

Certainly not everyone's cup of tea but the 4x4 itch has been scratched and I'm very happy with the Commander

Next I want to get a double din head unit which will work very simply with my iPhone and update the speakers.

Then hopefully at some point get it lifted on chunky tyres, add a rack with the spare and some flood lights and end up like this
